Excepts From A Press Statement
By Shri Jayaprakash Narayan
The present crisis is o serious that either this emerge from it is a steeled, united strong and respected or as a demoralized confused and spineless weakling no longer to be taken seriously by the world. Therefore, let no one try to confuse the issues.
What I have been advocating is not war against Pakistan but formal political recognition of the People’s Government of the Bangladesh. It is true that when questioned if recognition of the Government and open assistance to the Mukti Bahini may not provoke Pakistan to start a war with India I have admitted that the risk was certainly there, but it had to be accepted.
If this is tantamount to saying that India should declared war on Pakistan, then I am surely a war-monger. The only difference as far as I have been able to understand.
